Federal action on immigration continues to intensify. This year has featured race-based stops and arrests, unlawful raids, and the heightened use of criminal law as a tool of immigration control. The line between “civil” immigration consequences and criminal punishment continues to erode.

Join us for a dialogue with Raha Jorjani, from the Alameda County Public Defenders, and Professor Jennifer Chacón, our own faculty expert on the intersection of immigration and criminal law, to examine the current moment in crimmigration, the real-world impacts on noncitizens, and how lawyers are responding on the front lines and in the courts.
